Albino kangaroos are quite rare, and apparently very few survive in the wild. I photographed this albino kangaroo at Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary near Mylor in the Adelaide Hills.I first visited Warrawong a couple of years ago when I dined in the restaurant and then went on a nocturnal guided tour. I have returned several times since during the day; there is free entry between 9am and 4pm daily.

I am back for round 6 of ABC Wednesdays, having had a break during round 5. I look forward to renewing acquaintances with 'old' ABC Wednesday bloggers and meeting 'new' ones.

Oh, what a great capture, Gordon! Love kangaroos, but needless to say I've never seen an albino one! What a beautiful little guy! Glad to see you back! Hope the rest of your week goes well!

Great capture, my first ever at seeing an albino kangaroo.
I didn't realize that they don't have a good survival rate in the wild. I've only seen them in captivity as well. He is cute.
That's a great shot of that "lazy", fluffy, white kangaroo! Someday I'll see a live kangaroo in Australia!
Very original post for the letter A. Nice photo too.
Lovely shot of the albino kangaroo. I have been to Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary a couple of times, during my visits to my son and his family, who live in the Adelaide Hills. I enjoyed it very much but didn't see that particular kangaroo.
Nice one!
I admit that I at first thought it was a sheep, but the I read the text and looked closer. You have thought me something new - thank you :-)
Amazing picture of Albino Kangaroo. Thank you for sharing with us. This is the first time I am seeing whit color one.
Great!!

I certainly knew that there can be albinos of all variety of animal, but I'd never seen a kangaroo, or even considered that thee might be one. Learn something new.
As a new part of the ABC Wednesday team, thank you. welcome back to the club!
Nice shot - I like the sleepy eyes and luscious eyelashes! )
(Been looking down through your blog - great action shots). :)
I'd never thought about an albino kangaroo. Amazing animal and superb photo!
Albino animals are quite cute, aren't they? And this one has ridiculously long eyelashes!
I know they don't do well in the wild, though, any more than birds with the wrong colour feathers. Sometimes our blackbirds have a few white ones, and they often get mobbed by the other birds.
wow that looks super cute this is the first time i am seeing a white one
A handsome chap!
was watching the cycling last night, and thinking of you taking photos in the heat.
Your brought plenty of ice?
Tomorrow I take my son and sis's kid for the second time to Dream world. Oh the heat!!!!
Two days ago, I was sitting under the shade but still in the heat for 7 hours at Wet N Wild.
Do you come up to the Gold Coast?
Ann - It was hot, but ours is a clear, dry heat; much more pleasant than the humid weather they get on the Gold Coast this time of year. We watched the race from under a shady tree in the country. It was actually quite pleasant as ther was a breeze.
I haven't been to the Gold Coast fro quite some time; maybe again in the next couple of years.
